The major changes in 2022.2
With PyCharm 2022.2, we introduced an important change to how PyCharm works with remote targets such as the WSL, SSH, and Docker. This change enabled users to create virtual environments on the WSL and SSH directly in PyCharm. It also equipped PyCharm with a new unified wizard for managing remote interpreters, enhancements that were not possible with the old implementation.
Initially, PyCharm focused on local development. As PyCharm matured, it started to cover new approaches and technologies. At first, support was added for the basic scenarios of development with the code deployed on SSH servers. Then, Docker integration was implemented and WSL followed. While different technologies were supported, the codebase responsible for code execution remained the same in its essence, leaving several corner cases and individual features unsupported.
To implement this new functionality, we had to refactor a significant portion of our huge code base. We did internal dogfooding of the updated code for several months before we added the functionality to the Early Access Program builds for the 2022.1 release and then for the 2022.2 release. Unfortunately, there were still some regressions that we didn’t catch, and they ended up appearing in PyCharm 2022.2. This minor release brings fixes that allow you to work more efficiently with remote interpreters again.
What’s next
Our future plans include providing the ability to configure Conda interpreters in WSL and on SSH servers and adding support for managing Python interpreters configured in Docker, which runs on an SSH server.
